At King & Siegel LLP, we are proud to offer a free and confidential case review for employees across California, Texas, Colorado, New York, and Washington who may have strong, litigation-ready employment law claims. Our reviews often encourage clients to seek advice on their free consultation employment law options.
We represent workers in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and statewide in cases involving wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, whistleblower retaliation, and wage violations. To determine if these issues qualify for a free consultation employment law assessment, our professionals conduct thorough reviews.
Our case review process is deliberate and thorough. It is designed to identify strong claims, build trust with potential clients, and ensure every person receives a thoughtful and honest assessment of their situation.
A Careful, Evidence-Driven Review Process
When you contact us, your information is reviewed by a trained intake professional who specializes in employment law. Our team evaluates:
- The facts and documentation you provide,
- The timing, damages, and available evidence, and
Whether your claims appear suitable for contingency-fee representation (where you pay no fees unless we recover money for you).
If your case meets our contingency criteria, you will be offered a free consultation with an experienced King & Siegel attorney to discuss your potential claims and legal options. This ensures that your time—and ours—is spent where we can truly add value and maximize the benefits from our free consultation process.
When a Paid Consultation May Be Appropriate
Some employment matters are not eligible for contingency representation because they involve non-monetary remedies, legal advice, or contract review rather than litigation.
You may be offered a paid consultation at our attorneys’ standard hourly rates (ranging from $400 to $950 per hour) if your matter involves:
- Employment agreement or offer letter review
- Severance agreement review and negotiation
- Advice and counsel regarding employment contracts or non-compete agreements
- Ongoing workplace issues (where you are still employed, want to remain employed, and are seeking strategic advice)
- Requests for accommodations, HR coaching, or pre-termination planning
If your case falls into one of these categories after an initial intake review, our team will explain the next steps and help you schedule a paid attorney consultation, depending on availability, if you wish to proceed.
In these cases, our team will have already conducted a thorough factual review, so your paid consultation can focus immediately on strategy—not background.
What the Free Case Review Does Not Include
- The review does not create an attorney–client relationship or constitute legal advice.
- It is a screening process designed to determine whether your case meets our contingency criteria.
- Submitting information does not guarantee representation or a free attorney consultation.
Our Intake Process
- Submit your information online or by phone.
- If your case falls within our jurisdiction and scope of practice, you will be invited to have a 30-minute fact-finding interview with our trained intake professionals.
- Based on our review:
- If your matter appears viable for contingency representation, you will be offered a free attorney consultation, or
- If your matter requires advice, review, or negotiation, you will be offered a paid consultation at our standard hourly rates.
- Representation begins only once both you and the firm sign a written engagement agreement.
This process ensures that every potential client receives individualized, evidence-based attention, consistent with our high professional standards.
Confidentiality and Conflicts of Interest
All information shared during your intake and review is treated as confidential, regardless of whether you become a client. The attorney-client privilege applies to information you provide to us. This is true even without a formal attorney-client relationship, because the purpose of the call is to provide legal advice.
Before scheduling any attorney consultation, we perform a conflict check to ensure that we can ethically evaluate your claims. If a conflict exists, we will promptly inform you and, when possible, refer you to other qualified employment counsel.
Declined or Referred Cases
If your case does not qualify for representation, this does not mean it lacks merit. It may involve factors such as timing, available evidence, damages, or jurisdiction. When appropriate, we will offer referrals to trusted California employment lawyers or other resources. This ensures that those who come to us seeking free consultation and employment law guidance receive the best possible assistance, even if it means referring them to another expert.
Submitting this form or speaking with our intake team does not create an attorney–client relationship. Free consultations apply only to cases that appear suitable for contingency-fee representation. Matters involving employment or severance agreement review, ongoing workplace issues, or other advice-based services are offered as paid consultations at our standard hourly rates ($400–$950/hour).
